What I don’t see mentioned regarding Trump is that he is a television veteran. It’s not name recognition alone, or even being recognized for tough-minded truth-telling (and self-promotion), which is also part of it. It’s that he knows how to talk in the cadence that reaches the mass-market, reality-TV audience, and he’s talking about policy. It’s a devastating combination. If he’s running, he will bring in lots of people who don’t usually vote. Or think.
“It’s that he knows how to talk in the cadence that reaches the mass-market, reality-TV audience, and he’s talking about policy.”
I can’t comment on Trump’s ability to reach a reality-TV audience, since I have never watched a reality TV show, including Trump’s. However, I do like how he talks about policy.
The DC media complex hates the fact he has outed there destruction of the US to a once apathetic masses.
They fear he had awoken them .
They have now issued non stop attacks on him from all sides .
YOur’e right. Was in a huge argument with my brother about this, who basically mocked Trump, saying he would flame out like Sarah Palin.
Big difference. Palin was not ready for prime time. She would be now, but Trump has honed in his persona. His comfort zone in the media is huge, probably even greater than REagan.
I love his press conferences. Truman like. Quick answers.
I would respect him 1000% if he’d committ to the GOP win or lose. Would like to see him matched with Carla Fiorina. TEd CRuz could be AG, and his first SCOTUS choice.
He brings his reality show fans into the race. The Quintessential LIV. And with Trump at the top of the ticket the Republicans get all those votes.
Go Trump.
Whether it's third party or as the 'pub against hillary, that style is a winning one, compared to those cold-hearted out of touch beasts. JMHO
